then, a happy and healthy passage to a new
school year of engagement that contributes
to the attainment of the University goals and
your individual aspirations. On this note I
would like to emphasize the urgency of following the health protocols laid down by
the University to keep everyone safe.

Life at CEU bears the title of this Student Handbook to give you a handy
reminder that the attainment of your academic goal and self-fulfillment is not difficult
at all when you follow the general rules and regulations, policies and procedures of
the University. Also, this handbook provides the services and resources you need to

 CENTRO ESCOLAR UNIVERSITY:
A BRIEF HISTORY
Librada Avelino and Carmen de Luna founded the Centro Escolar de Señoritas on
June 3, 1907, inspired by the patriotic movement to nationalize schools and cognizant
of a need for an adequate center of learning for Filipino women steeped in teachings
on ideal womanhood, intelligent citizenry and democratic leadership which would
instill in them the tenet of science and virtue.

The first Board of Directors was composed of Librada Avelino, directress;

Carmen de Luna, assistant directress; Maria Francisco de Villaceran, secretary; Felisa
Francisco, treasurer; Margarita Oliva, administrative; and Atty. Fernando Salas, board
member.

The Colegio was located in a modest house on Calzada de Iris (later named
Paseo de Azcarraga and now Claro M. Recto Avenue), Number 2265, ending on Alix
(now Legarda Street).

Librada Avelino chose “Ciencia y Virtud” (Science and Virtue) as the motto of
the school. This means that the institution was dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge
and the inculcation of moral excellence in its students. The official color of the school
was pink and it was also the color of the uniform of its students.

The early prospectus, with pink paper cover, was written in the Spanish
language. Both English and Spanish were the official languages of the school. Courses
in the English language were included in the same status as courses in Christian moral
and good manners.

The first programs of instruction in the curriculum were kindergarten,

elementary, general secondary, music and home arts courses. In compliance to Act
No. 74 of the Philippine Commission, English was the medium of instruction, while at
the same time, the Spanish language consistently received special attention.

On June 10, 1910, a two-year high school commercial course was opened in
response to the need for practical knowledge in business and merchandising. A three-
year domestic science course was introduced in 1917. Not long after, the government
upgraded these studies to four-year courses, which applied the same standards as
those of the regular general high school and sought their compliance with the same
academic requirements.

A great stride in educating the Filipino women was undertaken in June 1921
when the College of Pharmacy was established. The opening of the College of Liberal
Arts in 1924 followed, so was the birth of the College of Education which operated
with three departments - Normal, Education, and Home Economics. The College of
Dentistry was opened in 1925.

vi
 Centro Escolar de Señoritas was among the first to recognize the need for more
well-trained teachers in colleges and universities through post-graduate education.
To meet the demand, the school opened the Graduate School in 1926, offering
programs leading to master’s and doctoral degrees. In the latter’s effect, Centro
Escolar University was acknowledged as the first non-sectarian university to offer
programs in the doctoral level.

In 1928, the College of Commerce and Business Administration was established.

That same year, the school founded the first College of Optometry in the Philippines.
Another department, the Conservatory of Music, was established during the
administration of the founder, Librada Avelino.

It was in 1930 when Centro Escolar de Señoritas assumed the name Centro
Escolar University and gained University status in 1932. To cope with the difficulties
of the times and the need to expand the school, the University was reorganized and
incorporated in 1934 with Librada Avelino, popularly called “Maestra Ada” as the first
University President.

Carmen de Luna succeeded as the second University President after the death
of Librada Avelino on November 9, 1934. In 1945, Centro Escolar University opened
its portals to male students.

While Social Work courses had been offered in the College of Education for
more than a decade since 1935, it was not until 1948 when the College of Social Work
was formally opened. In 1954, a branch was established in Tambo, Paranaque, then
still a part of Rizal province.

In response to the need for trained nutritionists, the University opened

the College of Foods and Nutrition in 1958. Other post-war needs prompted the
establishment of the College of Medical Technology in 1960.

The term of the third president, Dr. Pilar Hidalgo Lim (1963- 1973), was the
beginning of CEU’s expansion in enrollment and physical facilities. It was in 1963
when the College of Chemistry was established.

Expansion and development were continued by the fourth president, Dr.

Dionisio C. Tiongco (1973-1992) under whose term the College of Nursing was opened
in 1975. Centro Escolar University expanded its campuses to serve the needs of the
students and to comply with the urban decongestion policy of the country.

The birth of CEU Malolos came at a time when the national government was
making educational opportunities available outside the heavily congested Metro
Manila area. CEU Malolos at Km. 44 McArthur Highway, Malolos, Bulacan was
established as the University’s expansion site in June 1978.

vii
 CEU’s commitment to academic excellence led to the accreditation of its college
programs by the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission
on Accreditation (PACUCOA) and the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools,
Colleges, and Universities (PAASCU), which later gained distinction as the University
with the highest number of accredited programs among private higher education
institutions in the country.

Dr. Lourdes Talag-Echauz (1992-2002) succeeded the presidency of Centro

Escolar University and formally installed as CEU’s fifth president on March 5, 1993.
Serving as the link between the valued traditions of the past and the innovations
of the future, Dr. Echauz, a true Escolarina, followed the footsteps of her mentors
Librada Avelino and Carmen de Luna, in molding young men and women into worthy
and competent citizens.

During her administration, CEU grew and continued to keep abreast with
innovation and technology, upgraded facilities, and highly trained manpower. Over
the years, with the excellent performance of its graduates in professional licensure
examinations, CEU continued to produce many of the country’s leaders in various
professions.

On January 17, 2002, Centro Escolar University celebrated the installation of

its sixth president, Dr. Rosita L. Navarro (2002- 2006). Dr. Navarro was a catalyst for
progressive initiatives and an advocate of the balance between globalization and
Filipinization. She steered the institution to greater heights in academic excellence
and educational service to the Filipino people.

Under her leadership, the University was granted full autonomy by the
Commission on Higher Education and was awarded a certification by the Societe
Generale de Surveillance International (SGS) for compliance with the requirements
of ISO 9001-2000. Its Information Communication Technology (ICT) Department
came into full operation, Wi-fi zones were set-up and the library services were
automated.

Capping these achievements was the conferment to CEU of the Philippine

Quality Award (PQA) for proficiency in quality management by the Department of
Trade and Industry, Republic of the Philippines in 2005.

Two years before CEU’s centennial celebration, on March 22, 2005, the
community witnessed the birth of CEU Makati, Gil Puyat Campus. The academic
offerings included degree programs that responded to the global market
particularly Hotel and Restaurant Management, Tourism Management, Information
Technology, Computer Science, Business Administration, Mass Communication
Major in Broadcasting, Master of Business Administration and first-class health
science programs for which CEU has always been known such as Doctor of Dental
Medicine, Medical Technology, Nursing, Pharmacy, Doctor of Pharmacy, and
Psychology.

viii
 Dr. Ma. Cristina D. Padolina became the seventh CEU President in August 2006.
As CEU Centennial President, she brought to her post an impressive international
educational background with sterling and extensive leadership and management
experience in academe and government, a wisdom she gathered over the years
after having been the Open University (UPOU) Chancellor of the University of the
Philippines and a Commissioner of the Commission on Higher Education of the
Republic of the Philippines.

In 2007, the second campus of Centro Escolar University Makati-Legazpi Village

was opened. In 2009 the College of Law and Jurisprudence was established in CEU
Makati-Gil Puyat. That same year, the Professional and Continuing Education (PACE)
program was established in CEU Manila to address the clamor and the need for
lifelong learning in the light of continuing scientific and technological innovations and
change.

Massive curricular reforms were done and new programs were introduced,
like: BS Legal Management, MS in Health Sciences, MS in Hospitality Management,
MBA major in Financial Analysis, MBA major in Total Quality Management, and Ph.D.
in Higher Education Management. In 2013, guided by Dr. Padolina’s leadership and
inspiration, CEU was awarded as the University with the most number of Level IV
accredited programs.

She believes that CEU, with its dedicated and highly qualified administrators,
faculty and staff and its strong adherence to quality service, is primed to achieve a
new level of excellence in higher education, thus, she initiated the “Quality People,
Quality University Program” that focuses on total human development of every
Escolarian educator, administrator, and non-teaching staff.

With the emerging development in the Philippine Education system, the

CEU Administration fully supported the K-12 program of the Department of
Education.

In 2016, another milestone was added to the history of Centro Escolar

University under the leadership of Dr. Ma. Cristina D. Padolina when the Department
of Education approved CEU’s application to offer Senior High School (SHS) program.
CEIS Malolos has been offering Basic Education since 2014. It started to offer SHS in
2016. In the same year, the School of Medicine in CEU Manila was formally opened.

In 2017, Dr. Padolina was conferred the Juran Medal Award by the Philippine
Society for Quality for her exemplar quality and excellent management.

In 2019, the Department of Education granted CEIS Manila and Makati

Campuses the permit to operate and are now considered as separate entities. Senior
High School offers the three tracks in the following strands: Accountancy, Business
and Management (ABM), Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMMS), and Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

ix
 While fulfilling its primary function of academic instruction, CEU is likewise,
making strong strides towards performing the equally important function of a higher
education institution of community and extension services and expanding and
advancing human knowledge through research. The investment of the University
for the capacity-building of its personnel, improvement of research facilities and
provision of incentives is paying off with the increase in research publications and
paper presentations, a number of which have received recognition. Over the years,
the CEU international and local linkages with HEIs and organizations expanded and
flourished which made the people of CEU citizens of the world.

The prominence that Centro Escolar University has attained since the pioneering
efforts of its founders, Librada Avelino and Carmen de Luna, has not gone unnoticed
in the academic community. It is the sum of its series of achievements for the past
115 years. Ever the educational center of worthy accomplishments, Centro Escolar
University today is a University of first choice, an institution of higher learning that
fosters excellence in all its endeavors guided by its philosophy Ciencia y Virtud.

EVALUATING AND REPORTING STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTS

The grade earned by a student is an indicator of the student’s mastery of the
subject/course and a mark of scholarship. Therefore, in determining such grade, only
those factors that prove the degree to which the student has attained the objectives
for the particular course should be taken into consideration.

19 | Page
Undergraduate School Grading System
Numerical grades/marks prescribed in the following official grading scale, shall
be strictly followed:
Mark/Grade Description
1.00 Excellent
1.25 - 1.50 Superior
1.75 - 2.00 Very Satisfactory
2.25 - 2.50 Satisfactory
2.75 Fairly Satisfactory
3.00 Barely Satisfactory
3.50 - 4.00 Conditional Pass
5.00 Unsatisfactory

The grades/marks of 3.50 or 4.00 may be given only as periodic grades, i.e., for
the first, second and third grading periods. They are not used as final mark/grade.

Bases of Grades
The semester is divided into three (3) grading periods of approximately six (6)
weeks each. A student is given a grade for each grading period. A summer class is
divided into two (2) grading periods. A periodic grade is the result of evaluating a
student’s achievement or performance in a course for a particular grading period and
is independent of the student’s performance or achievement in a previous grading
period.

The bases for the computation of each periodic grade are as follows:
1. Class participation (recitation, unit tests, quizzes, projects, reports,
assignments, research, journal review, reflection journal and other
performance-based activities) – weight of 2
2. Comprehensive/Summative examination (first, second and third) – weight of 1

For SY 2022-2023, there will be two (2) grading periods only- Midterm and Final,
whether a course is offered in one (1) learning block, two (2) learning blocks or four
(4) learning blocks

Grades in Courses Consisting of Lecture and Laboratory

Grades in courses consisting of lecture and laboratory classes should be the
result of the student’s achievement or performance in both classes, weighted
accordingly and expressed as a composite grade.

Grades in lecture and laboratory classes should be given separately, one for lecture
and another for laboratory. The composite mark is computed by the lecture teacher.

Computation of Final Marks/Grades

The averaging system of computing final marks/grades will be used. The final
grade in a course is the average of the three periodic grades, (first, second, third)
rounded off to the nearest numerical grade prescribed in the CEU official grading scale.

Page | 20
 For all courses, the final mark/grade is passing if the minimum aggregate sum of
first, second, and third periodic grades does not exceed 9.00.

For all courses covering two grading periods, the final grade is passing if the
minimum aggregate sum does not exceed 6.00.

Exemption from Final Examination

A student who obtains a first and second periodic average grade of at least 1.50
and a third periodic class participation grade of at least 1.50 is qualified for exemption
from the final examination in that course, provided that he/she presents his/her final
examination permit to teacher(s) concerned.

In case of exemption from the final examination, the final examination grade
shall be the same as the class participation grade for the third grading period.

Failure to Take an Examination

Students who fail to take the first or second periodic examinations on scheduled
date should take the special examination set for the purpose; otherwise, the student
receives a grade of “5.00” for the examination not taken.

A remark of “NFE” will be given to any student who fails to take the final
examination provided he/she passes the prelim and midterm grading periods and
the final class participation.

The remark “NFE” may be removed by taking the special examinations. The
special examination for students who are unable to take the final examination should
be scheduled and administered by the schools/colleges/departments after the
prelim, midterm or final examinations.

Deadlines for Removal of NFE

• For students currently enrolled- last day of final examinations of the following
semester.
• For students not currently enrolled – one (1) school year after the NFE is
incurred and prior to the enrollment in the following school year.
• For graduating students in the second semester – during the scheduled
special examinations for graduating students.

If the student takes the special examination, NFE will be changed to a computed
grade by the faculty member.

Failure to take the examination within the stated period, the student should re-
enroll the subject. The NFE remains in the student record.

Graduating students with academic deficiencies due to NFE who are not
enrolled will be allowed to complete their deficiencies following the same deadlines,
provided they enroll for residency during the semester in which they complete their

21 | Page
requirements. Therefore, students are considered graduates of the semester when
he/she shall have completed all deficiencies.

The student must pay a residency fee plus the usual fee for special
examinations.

Failure to Complete Requirements of a Course

A remark of “NFR” (No Final Requirement) is given to any student who fails to
finish the requirements in Applied Music, Clinical courses in Dentistry and Optometry,
RLE for Nursing, Med Laws and Internship for Medical Technology, undergraduate
research courses, and practicum for other courses. In the case of Classical Dentistry,
the remark “FRI” (Final Requirement Insufficient) is given to students with incomplete
final requirements. The requirements must be completed within one semester. For
Applied Music and Clinic 1,2,3 for Dentistry, however, the requirement must be
completed within two semesters and one summer. Requirements in RLE for Nursing
(Make-up Duty) must be completed in two semesters.

Mark for Unauthorized Dropping of Courses

Unauthorized or unofficially dropped courses shall be indicated as “U.D.”
in the official grading sheet for the student(s) concerned in each of the following
circumstances:
• When a student has enrolled in the course but failed to attend even a single
class day.
• When a student has passing grades for the first and second grading periods,
but stopped attending classes in the third grading period.
• When two courses are combined such as lecture and laboratory courses, a
grade of “U.D.” in either lecture or laboratory prevails.
• When a student has incurred an absence that is more than twenty percent
(20%) of the required total semestral attendance for the course.

Students’ Periodical Grades

Students will be provided their preliminary and midterm grades through their
temporary report card accomplished by the faculty members.

Music Education Grading System

The mark/grade assigned to a student is an indicator of the student’s mastery of
the course and a mark of scholarship. Therefore, in determining any mark/grade, only
those factors that afford evidence of the degree to which the student has attained the
objectives set-up for that particular course are taken into consideration.

The bases of marks/grades in a course and their corresponding weights are as

follows:
a) Class participation (preparedness for weekly, individual lessons, proficiency
during recitals and similar performances)
b) Panel examinations (finals only)

Page | 22
 The 18 weeks are confined to weekly, individual lessons leading to a final
examination period, the date of which shall be determined the week after the
final examination of the GE and professional courses.
a) Each examinee submits a prescribed form containing the rubric of the
particular course and his/her repertoire, to each member of the panel and
to his/her teacher.
b) After the examinee’s performance, each panelist (excluding the teacher)
records the grade with comments (if any) in the form.
c) The forms duly signed by the panelists are then submitted to the chairperson
of the panel for computation of the final examination grade/mark.
d) The averaging system of computing the final examination marks/grades
given by the members of the panel is used and the corresponding equivalent
is recorded.
e) All forms with final examination grades are then submitted to the respective
teachers. The teachers compute the final grade.

A mark of “5.00” is given to any student who fails to take the final examination
and is required to enroll on the same level next semester.

A mark of “NFR” is given to a student on the following bases:

a) The student has not performed satisfactorily (poor memorization, poor tempo,
poor interpretation, lack in proficiency in playing the instrument, lack in vocal
development) in the final examination as evaluated by the panel.
b) The student has not complied with the requirements in the syllabus.
c) For both cases cited, the student has to re-enroll the same level and is given
another semester to pass the examination for the said level.
d) Should a first year student fail to get the approval of the panelists again in the
following semester, he/she shall be advised to shift to another major.

Special Online Provisions
THE CEU LEAPS ACADEMIC HONOR CODE

Academic integrity in Centro Escolar University is your commitment to and

show proof of honesty and good moral behavior in the academic setting. This is
most relevant to the University at this time, especially that online learning will be
employed in all courses. Your commitment to academic integrity shows respect for
your own work and the work of your peers.

This means doing your own work, writing your own papers and properly
citing your resources. This means taking an online quiz without the help from your
textbooks or friends. This can also mean reporting someone you suspect has cheated
on an online exam or other online assignments.

This means having the integrity to do the right thing, even when no one
is looking. This means upholding the academic honesty policies set forth by the
University in online learning.

Having academic integrity means that others can trust you. The people with
whom you deal with knows that you can be relied on to act honestly and to do what
you say you will do. When people know that you believe in doing the right thing,
and that your behavior is consistent with that belief, they trust you. Developing good
ethical habits, while you are in still in college, will help you as you enter the workplace
and face ethical issues.

Plagiarism is part of the concerns of academic integrity in the University.

This happens when a student copies words, ideas, or any other materials from
another source without giving credit. Plagiarism is unacceptable in any academic
environment, and is a serious violation. You may lose all the credits that you received
for the assignment, you may receive a grade of 5.0 or you may be expelled from the
University.

The following are the policies and guidelines that will be followed by each
student:

• Answers to homework, quizzes, and exams must be their own work (except for
assignments that explicitly permit collaboration).
• They may not share their solutions to homework, quizzes, or exams with
anyone else unless explicitly permitted by the teacher. This includes anything
written or done by them, as well as any official solutions provided by the
teacher.
• They may not engage in any other activities that will dishonestly improve their
results or dishonestly improve or damage the results of others.
• They may not reproduce, distribute, transmit or share in any form or by any
means including photocopying, recording, or other electronic or mechanical

25 | Page
 methods, materials in the CEU LEAPS to friends, acquaintances, or any other
person without the prior written permission of CEU.
• They may not plagiarize any part of the requirements submitted online

Accidental violations are the same as intentional violations. Here are some ways
to avoid accidental violations:
• Understand what constitutes cheating and plagiarism.
• Give yourself enough time to research and write your papers, and to study
for exams. When you wait until the last minute to write your papers or study
for an exam, you are under more stress and more tempted to violate the
academic honesty policies.
• Students shall associate with fellow students whom they believe to be
highly ethical. It helps to have a network of students who encourage honest
behavior

Students shall sign the CEU LEAPS Academic Honor Pledge for each of their
courses in the CEU LEAPS and the attached form in the student’s application form.

CEU LEAPS Academic Honor Pledge

As a student of Centro Escolar University,

I pledge that I will adhere to the University ideals and
philosophy of Ciencia y Virtud.
I shall demonstrate personal and academic integrity at all times.
I promise to be honest and accountable for my actions and to adopt the
Honor System of submitting my own original work, and to neither
share my answers with others nor plagiarize the work of others.
I will challenge the commission of any form of academic dishonesty or
deception and will support, without reservation, all University efforts aimed at
encouraging and maintaining academic integrity.
So, help me God.

UNIVERSITY SELECTIVE RETENTION POLICIES
The purpose of these policies is to retain students until the completion of their
baccalaureate degrees by monitoring their performance and by providing programs
that will assist them in achieving academic success.

These policies are implemented by the Academic Affairs Office (AAO) and
Office of the University Registrar (OUR) by supporting and monitoring students’
academic progress, coordinating with academic departments, providing referrals to
campus resources and support services, and carrying out programs, like the Learning
Assistance Program, that promote the academic success of the students.

The Deans/Program Heads monitor the students’ grades in professional courses

while the Academic Department Heads monitor the students’ grades in professional
core and core curriculum courses.

University-Wide Rules

Student Grades

To be promoted to the next academic year level, a student enrolled in any

program of the University should have the following grades at the end of the Semester:

1. Core curriculum courses: An aggregate sum of 9 and 50% cut- off grade in class
participation and periodic examination
2. Professional core courses: An aggregate sum of 9 and 60% cut-off grade in class
participation and periodic examination
3. Professional courses: An aggregate sum of 9 and 60% cut-off grade in class
participation and periodic examination except for Accountancy, Pharmacy and
Optometry which have 70% as the cut-off grade and 65% for Nursing and all NCM
courses.

For SY 2022-2023, since there will be two (2) grading periods only, the aggregate
sum of grades in each course must be 6.0. The same cut-off in class participation and
periodic examination will be followed in the course.

Scholastic Standing

The determination of the scholastic standing of students under the policy of

selective retention is governed by the following rules:

Warning. Any student who fails in fifteen (15) to twenty-nine (29) percent of the
total number of academic units enrolled will be warned by the Dean/ Program Head
to improve his/her work.

29 | Page
 Probation. Any student, who fails in thirty (30) to fifty-nine (59) percent of the
total number of academic units enrolled will be placed on probation for the succeeding
semester with his/her academic load to be determined by the Dean/Program Head.
A student on probation will bring his/her parent/ guardian to see the Dean/Program
Head prior to enrollment. Probation may be removed in the succeeding semester if
he/she earns a grade of “3.00” or better in all courses.

Strict Probation. Any student who fails in sixty (60) percent or higher percent
of the total number of academic units will be placed on strict probation. His/ Her
academic load will be determined by the Dean/Program Head. This does not apply to
students who are enrolled in less than nine (9) units.

Any student on strict probation who fails again in 60 percent or more of the
total number of units in the final grades shall be dropped from the roll of the school/
college/department, subject to the provisions of the following paragraph:

Any student dropped from a school/college/department will not be automatically

admitted to another unit of the University unless approved by the Chief Academic
Officer. The student’s natural aptitude and interest may qualify him/her in another
field of study. In this case, he/she may be allowed to enroll in another school/college/
department with twelve (12) units or less.

Permanent Disqualification. Any student who fails in 100 percent of the

academic units in the final grades shall be permanently barred from re-admission to
any school/college/department of the University. This, however, does not apply to
students who are enrolled in less than twelve (12) units.

Retention Policies Specific to Programs

The following are policies specific to schools/colleges/departments that are not
otherwise covered by the general policies of the University. These policies shall not
be more lax than, nor do they contradict, University policies.

B.S. Accountancy (School of Accountancy and Management)

The BSA Program since the start of SY 2018-2019 has adopted a liberal admissions
policy wherein graduates of the ABM of Senior High School may be accepted into the
BSA Program provided they pass the CEU Entrance Examination.

In meritorious cases, graduates of non-ABM Track may also be accepted provided

they have earned respectable grades (not less than 80%) in Mathematics and English
in the Senior High School, and have also passed the CEU Entrance Examination. There
is no requirement for a bridging program either for ABM and non-ABM graduates.

The Program Chair with the consent of the SAM Dean may allow the admission
on PROBATIONARY BASIS of students who failed the CEU admission examination,
with a grade not lower than 70%, provided they pass a personal interview with the
Program Chair. This is conditioned on the student having earned at least a general

Page | 30
average of 80% in Senior High School, and a minimum grade of 80% in Mathematics
and English.
1. First year students shall pass all professional core and professional
subjects in order to be promoted to second year. Second, third, and fourth
year students may have a maximum of one failing grade for each level in
the professional core/professional subjects. The subjects failed may be re-
enrolled, but in no case will cross-enrollment of failed subjects be allowed.
2. In addition, there shall be year-level comprehensive exams (Accounting
Comprehensive Exams, ACE) the passing of which is required in order to
be promoted to the next year. A student who fails in any of the year-level
comprehensive exams may be placed in a PROBATIONARY STATUS until the
student is finally able to pass a re-take of the exam, which can only be re-taken
not more than once subject further to the rules on probationary status.
3. The re-take of the ACE can only be done within the first semester of the
following year. If not re-taken within that period, the student is deemed
to have waived the right to take the re-take and shall be automatically
dropped from the BSA Program. The Program Chair will set the date for
the re-take examination.
4. The required passing grade shall be 75% for the first year level ACE; for
the second year, the passing rate shall be 80%; and for the third year, the
passing rate shall be 85%.

Doctor of Dental Medicine (School of Dentistry)

1. Any first year or second year student who fails in 40 percent or more of the

placed on strict probation for the succeeding semester, after a review of the
student’s performance and upon approval of the Dean.
2. A student who fails in any major subjects twice will enroll on the failed courses
only.
3. All courses in the first year and second year should be completed by the student
prior to his promotion to the third year. (Four-year curriculum) All courses in
the third year and fourth year should be completed by the student prior to the
promotion to the fifth year. (Six-year curriculum)
4. A student who incurs deficiency in first- and second-year courses will not be
permitted to take clinical courses, but instead will be given third year, first
semester courses which have neither pre-requisites nor courses related to

will be given a grade of 5.00 if he/she does not complete the requirements
within the prescribed period. He/She has to enroll in the same clinical level in
the succeeding semester.
7. In view of the various constraints that can directly affect the completion of the
prescribed requirements for each clinic level, clinicians may be given a chance
to be promoted conditionally. The following guidelines are strictly observed in
conditional promotion:
a. When 70% of the total number of requirements has been completed and
clinicians are cleared in four (4) of the six (6) sections at the end of the
semester, a clinician can be promoted conditionally. The clinician must be
able to present his/her clinical form showing that he/she has an on-going
case/requirement on the deficient sections.
b. Clearance from the five (5) sections does not guarantee an automatic
promotion if the open section does not have an on-going case particularly
on sections that need one semester for its completion.
c. Advanced cases on regular patients will not be considered as basis for
conditional promotion.
d. A grade of 3.00 will be assigned to the section with a deficiency to enable
the clinical division chairperson to compute the clinician’s final rating in
the clinical subject enrolled in.
8. A third year or fourth year student who fails in more than 40 percent of academic
units enrolled and retained in the corresponding clinic enrolled (i.e., Clinic 1, 2,

131 | Page
 exceeding twenty per cent (20%) of the prescribed total class days for the
school term. A penalty of suspension for a period more than twenty percent
(20%) of the total class days for the school term shall be deemed suspension for
a period equivalent to twenty per cent (20%) of the prescribed total class days
for the school term.

B. Non-readmission. Non-readmission is a penalty that allows the institution

to deny admission or enrollment of an erring student for the school term
immediately following the term when the resolution or decision finding the
student guilty of the offense he/she is charged and imposing the penalty of
non-readmission was promulgated. Unlike the penalty of exclusion, the student
is allowed to complete the current school term when the resolution for non-
readmission was promulgated. Transfer credentials of the erring student shall
be issued upon promulgation, subject to the other provisions of this Manual.

C. Exclusion. Exclusion is a penalty that allows the institution to exclude or drop

review the case in the event the student makes and files and appeal with the
Commission.

D. Expulsion. Expulsion is a penalty wherein the institution declares an erring

student disqualified for admission to any public or private higher education
institution in the Philippines. In any case, the penalty of expulsion cannot be
imposed without the approval of the Chairman of the Commission. This penalty
may be imposed for acts or offenses involving moral turpitude or constituting
gross misconduct, which are considered criminal pursuant to existing penal
laws.
The institution shall forward a complete record of the proceedings to
the Regional Office concerned within ten days from the termination of the
investigation of each case.

the student shall be given a deduction of ten percent (10%) in his
examination grade and in no case shall be given a final grade higher
than 80% in such completion examination. Except in prerequisite

as his completion examination.
2.3 Removal examination - This shall be available only to fourth year students
who fail in any fourth-year course or third year course and must be taken
by the student upon approval of the Dean, after consultation with the
faculty concerned, within thirty (30) days from the date of official release

submitted by the professor to the Office of the Dean within five (5) days
from the date of removal examination.
Sec. 3. A student who fails to take a final examination may be given a completion
examination if his failure to take such examination is due to extracurricular
activities of the school, or for reasons considered justifiable by the Dean,
such as sickness, death of an immediate member of the family and other
similar circumstances. Whenever practicable, a completion examination
in first semester courses shall be given during the first week of February,
and for second semester subjects, during the first week of September.

regular examination of the following academic year.
Sec. 4. A student who fails to take the examination in any, some, or all of the
courses in three examination periods, whether preliminary, mid-semestral,
or final, shall not be allowed to take any completion examination unless
such failure to take the exam was for a valid cause and with the approval
of the professor concerned and the Dean.

finished the examination, should be allowed to leave the classroom
unless accompanied by a proctor. A student who leaves in violation
of this rule shall not be allowed to continue with the examination.

applicants whose rating is at least 60% will be recommended for possible admission
based on ranking of all applicants.

Academic Policies
Classification of Students
1. Regular Students- students with a regular academic load for the year.
2. Irregular Students- students with less than the regular academic load for
the school year as a consequence of their failure to complete the academic
requirements for promotion to the next higher year. These students will be
allowed to enroll only in the courses which will enable them to complete the
requirements for promotion to the next higher year level.

Attendance
Attendance in all classes is required.
Students, who for any reason(s), are absent in more than 20% of the total
number of hours in any particular course will be dropped from the course.
A student who is dropped from a course because of absences, will not be given
any grade if his class standing at the time he is dropped is passing.

Dropping of Subjects
The CEU School of Medicine allows a student to drop a course(s) for poor
academic performance while continuing to attend the rest of the courses enrolled for
the School Year. Only yearly courses can be dropped.
• Dropping period: Dropping of courses is only allowed during the second
semester of any School Year. The dropping period will be up to one week
after the first exam of the second semester (or 4-5 weeks after the start
of classes in the second semester). During this time, it can be determined
with better certainty if the student has no/very slim chances of passing
the course.
• A student may drop up to a maximum of 30% of the total academic load

GRADUATE STUDENTS
THE GRADUATE SCHOOL
Brief History

The CEU Graduate School was organized in 1926 during the administration of
Doña Librada Avelino, founder and first CEU President.
Dr. Concepcion A. Aguila was the first Graduate School Dean. She was assisted
by Dr. Lorenzo Paredes and Miss Generosa de Leon, then CEU Registrar and
Comptroller respectively. During her deanship (1926-1960), Dr. Aguila developed and
implemented programs leading to the degrees of Doctor of Education and Doctor
of Philosophy. CEU thus became the first non-sectarian university to offer graduate
school courses.
Dr. Alicia Jose Ramos, the second dean (1960-1965), is credited with
the expansion of the Graduate School and growth in its enrollment. In
1965, Dr. Paz Policarpio Mendez, was appointed as its third dean. During
her term, several new programs in the masteral and doctoral levels were
opened.
In 1988, Dr. Rosita L. Navarro was appointed as the fourth dean of the Graduate
School. The term of Dr. Navarro marked the start of innovative programs which drew
financial support from reputable funding agencies. Several graduate degree programs
have received international recognition and endowments in the form of professorial
chairs and research grants.
By 2002, the vertical articulation of graduate programs emanating from strong
undergraduate programs was implemented in CEU. These undergraduate programs

161 | Page
are from the School of Accountancy/ Business/ Secretarial/Public Administration,
School of Education/ Liberal Arts/ Music/ Social Work, School of Pharmacy, School of
Tourism-Family Economics-Nutrition and HRM, and School of Science.
In 2006, the graduate programs of the School of Accountancy, Management
and Technology; the School of Education, Liberal Arts, Music, Social Work; and the
School of Science were granted Level-3 Accredited Status by the Philippine Colleges
and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA), which were affirmed in
2007 when the three schools were granted Level-3 re-accredited status.
In 2008, the School of Dentistry joined the five other schools in offering graduate
programs notably, Master of Science in Dentistry with Periodontics and Orthodontics
as areas of specialization.
In the same year, the School of Accountancy and Management offered the first
non-thesis program in CEU Manila with its Masters of Business Administration (MBA
non-thesis). Likewise, a doctoral program in Higher Education Management was
offered.
The Master of Science in Information Technology was offered effective school
year 2009-2010. Since school year 2016-2017, more new programs have been
offered such as Master of Science in Nursing (Gerontology), Master of Science in
Nursing (Maternal and Child), MS in Medical Technology, Graduate Diploma in Data
Analytics, PhD in Health Sciences (Optometry) and Post-Doctoral Diploma in Quality
Management.
The Graduate School continually enhances its programs by revising and offering
new courses and adopting innovative learning mode deliveries in response to the
demand from the academe and the industry. Recently, the Graduate School has
embarked into customized programs particularly in Post-Doctoral in Total Quality
Management, Master of Arts in Education and Master of Science in Pharmacy
for its overseas Students who are completing their degree programs. Today, it is
studying the possibility of opening a full distance learning program to serve more
students.
In 2016, the Graduate School was approved by the Commission on Higher
Education (CHED) as a Delivering Higher Education Institution (DHEI) for the CHED’s
K-12 Transition Program providing scholarships to deserving faculty members
teaching at the tertiary level. CEU collaborated with institutions of higher education
in Visayas-Central Philippines University, Iloilo Doctors’ College and in Mindanao-
Ozamis University and Davao Medical Foundation, Inc. in offering three of its master’s
programs: MS Health Sciences Education (Dental Education), MS Medical Technology
and MS Pharmacy to CHED scholars.
In 2017, CEU transformed its programs into outcomes-based education.
Program outcomes, course expected learning outcomes and program mapping have
been done to ensure the alignment of the courses with the program outcomes and
CEU graduate attributes.
In 2022, the University Council has approved the offering of new programs
which are designed to foster continuous learning among professionals who are
seeking advancement in relevant education in the field of health sciences. Programs
are designed to be stackable which is consistent to the university’s thrust to advocate
continuing professional education.

 The Graduate School continues to keep its pursuit of providing excellent post
graduate education, exploring different modalities to suit the needs of its current and
prospective students in the future, design new programs and enrich existing ones
toward a more responsive, relevant, and sustainable education.

167 | Page
 The bases of marks/grades in a course/subject and their corresponding weights
are as follows:
• Class participation (recitation, tests, assignments, projects, research reports,
etc.) – weight of 2/3;
• Summative examination – weight of 1/3;

E.g. A student who gets a 1.25 in class participation and 1.75 in summative
examination gets a grade/mark of 1.50

Mark Weight
CP 1.25 x2 = 2.50
SE 1.75 x1 = 1.75
4.25 /3 =1.42 (1.50)

For Clinical Dentistry, there is only one clinic grade which is the average of
all grades earned by the clinicians in all their clinic requirements during the entire
program. Laboratory grade should be part of the class participation in courses with
laboratory component.

APPENDIX K
PROMOTING MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM FOR CEU STUDENTS

Introduction
Part of the mission vision of the CEU Guidance and Counseling Department/
Section is to provide a preventative and responsive program that fosters students’
personal, emotional, social, and vocational skills in relation to their academic pursuits
and in the promotion of their mental well-being as they continue to reach for their
dreams.

With the growing number of individuals who are in dire need of assistance
regarding their psychological and emotional aspect, GCD/GCS created a system that
will help students improve their mental wellness and their ability to cope with life’s
challenges. (2nd) This is in line with the Republic Act no. 11036, also known as the
Mental Health Act, which seeks to access comprehensive and integrated mental
health services made available to all and ensure to protect the rights of people with
mental disorders as well as their family members.”

This mental health program will focus on the prevention, awareness, and
protection of students from cyberbullying, alcohol and substance abuse, and the
like.

Objectives
● To raise awareness about the importance of mental health and diminish the
stigma relating to mental health issues
● To promote help-seeking behaviors which will prevent mental health
problems
● To strengthen activities which will promote mental health wellness to the
students

What is Mental Health/Mental Wellness (WHO)

According to the World Health Organization, mental wellness is defined as “a
state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope
with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to
make a contribution to his or her community.”

What is a Mental Health Program?

It refers to activities and interventions designed to promote positive mental
health for students. It also provides an opportunity to involve school, parents, and
community to contribute to students’ personal development.

As the COVID-19 pandemic disrupts and brings significant stress to everyone’s

day-to-day lives, and even impacted major challenges among colleges and universities,
The CEU Guidance & Counseling Department/Section across campuses have put up
the following to promote student’s mental health:

261 | Page
 I. Identify students at risk
Suggested Activities: Routine Interview or Small Group Session
Description: GCD/GCS shall identify students at risk when communicating
with them thru phone, email, text or on social media platforms employing
principles of active listening.

II. Increase help-seeking behaviors

Suggested Activities: “Kumustahan” via gmail or google meet; routine
interview, group discussion
Description: In this new environment, GCD/GCS shall open a virtual
discussion group, specifically for students to talk about what’s going on
in their life and how they feel about it. Through this, it aims to encourage
more students to voluntarily seek help from the guidance and counseling
department.

III. Usage of social media platforms in promoting mental health

Activity: Provide some strategies and tips for coping with COVID-19
anxiety thru social media via GCD/GCS fb page and g-mail
Description:
a. GCD/GCS shall provide information to students through social media
platforms in managing their relationships, perform problem solving,
decision making, and identifying and managing emotions in this new
normal to develop their life skills and resiliency.
b. GCD/GCS shall post helpful tips on study skills, time management or
handling anxiety related to remote learning.
c. GCD/GCS shall post infographics covering Mental Health and Coping
During COVID-19, coping with Stress/Traumatic Event During the
Pandemic and related topics.
d. GCD/GCS shall promote social connectedness by encouraging
students to nurture their friendships and remain in communication
with their friends and classmates.
IV. Referral & access to mental health services
Suggested activity: Provide a comprehensive list of linkages to students
from various mental health organizations and providers.
Description:
GCD/GCS shall assist students understand themselves better,
recognize their issues and concerns, and explore ways to solve their
problems. If the needs of the students require a different approach and
are beyond the capacity of the guidance counselors, they may be referred
to other mental health providers with special expertise related to the
students’ needs.
No single organization can address all the students’ needs because
of their program limitations. In line with this, GCD/GCS provides the
list of resources available in the local area which may include private
practitioners or non-governmental organizations. Through this, students
may receive the adequate support and intervention they need.
